The recent arrival of new sources of information has triggered an outburst of alternative datasets (social networks, business systems, internet of things, large micro datasets …), potentially useful
for macro-economic analysis and monetary policy. In turn, this has led to the development of quantitative approaches able to deal with those large datasets. The conference will cover a variety of themes related to the use of alternative datasets for economic analysis and monetary policy. In particular, we are interested in papers addressing
issues including (but not limited to):
• Econometric methods for the analysis of large unstructured datasets
• Structural analysis with large datasets
• Large micro datasets for monetary policy
• Monetary and macro models estimated with alternative datasets
• Empirical analyses based on heterogeneous agents models
• Macroeconomic now-casting and forecasting with alternative datasets
• Early Warning Systems based on large datasets
• Use of alternative datasets for emerging economies
• Text-mining techniques
Further Information:
A limited amount of funding is available for travel and accommodation expenses for active academic participants. Please indicate in the email whether you need funding.
